New Year, New Game! (Untitled Creature Catching Game) Devlog

Happy New Year! I have been out of it for a few months, but the ideas keep running trough! I have started development on a game based on pokemon, with its own map, creatures, and characters! I would like to start telling everyone my ideas, take suggestions, answer questions, and update you`all on the progress of me losing the remains of my mental sanity. So sit back, relax, and watch me give updates every week or so on how the game is doing!

So… uh. A bit of confusing stuff happened.

So not only is the system for storing stats held together by duct tape and dreams (like another old game from 1990 i should mention) but my computer seems to be the same way. I can barely have 2 tabs open at the same time without opera saying “Nuh Uh” to one of my tabs. So i have a system looking like I found some carboard and taped it together, and my computer may want to end it all here

: (

But I am trying. I have a rough idea of what the map should look like and even have some gym- i mean challenge arena leaders- character models. I can whip up some concept art to show you.

No it was a reference to pokemon red. The bugs in that game is crazy.

I know it was a reference to Red I was talking about a Youtube video that was talking about Red’s bugs and he said and I quote “a game held together by duct tape and dreams”

GAME UPDATE
There won’t be an update for a while. There are a lot of bugs that I have to patch, but after that, I know exactly what to do to get a demo out. And I will get a demo out. where you will get to fight the 1st challenge arena out of 16. And after the demo is out, I’ll work on a saving system and the rest of the map. But right now, there are gunna be a lot of bugs to patch.

yeah, sorry for not posting in a while, still working out bugs and with no one to help me, I’m kinda working really slowly.

@the_calvinator Thanks for the compliment! What Ember is doing seems cool! And for such a good milestone! I have finished some stuff up last night though, fixing bugs and working on the EXP system. There is a weird bug that ends any battle when you attack for some reason. Still working on it, but nothing ever seems to make sense, almost 4 years of Flowlab and I still cant understand half of it.
